Analysis / Bias
The Politics Brief primarily republishes political news from the right-biased and factually mixed Daily Caller. Other articles, such as this Georgia Gov. Signs Law That Threatens to Remove Fani Willis from Trump Prosecution Case, do not provide hyperlinks or disclose the source of the information.
Editorially, they provide opinion pieces under the commentary section. Opinion pieces routinely favor the right, with articles such as this one: MTG Explodes on Reporter Trolling Her During Interview, Tells Her to Her Face to ‘F*** OFF’. They also feature opinion pieces by Kyle Becker, who frequently fails fact checks: NY Firefighters Who Booed AG Letitia James to Be Sent to Woke ‘Re-Education’ Camp. In general, The Politics Brief publishes news that favors a conservative perspective and may not always be factual based on using poor sources who fail fact checks.
